CONCRETE HEART

D. Pritchard

Lime powder and some reo bar

She built the formwork all around her heart

Poured the mix and left it two days to set

She’s got a solid wall inside of her chest

Concrete Heart

Let me in

I got a hammer and a chisel now

Gonna break through it somehow

Concrete Heart

Concrete Heart

Her daddy went away when she was a little girl

Business on the road and he abandoned her

With airline gifts he’d come walking in

Through the doorway to her life

Then he walks out again

Concrete Heart

I’m not him

I got a hammer and a chisel now

Gonna break through it somehow

Concrete Heart

Concrete Heart

The sharp edge is gone now on the chisel that I use

I’ve worn the hammer and the handle out but I won’t give up on you

The sharp edge is gone now on the chisel that I use

I’ve worn the hammer and the handle out but I won’t give up on you

No I won’t give up on you

Concrete Heart Let me in

I got a hammer and a chisel now

Gonna break through it somehow
